Normally a strawweight, Batara enters the fight with a 13-inch height advantage, a two-fight win streak and will be dropping down to atomweight to welcome Silverio – who is on a 4-fight win streak – to the Combate cage.

“I’ve been on the other side of the table from Invicta as a fighter and I could not be more excited to join this organization,” said Young in an Invicta press release. “I have so much respect for Shannon and the goals she has for the company, each event, and every single athlete.

“I’m extremely anxious to dive right in and interact with some of these special athletes. If I can help guide them, help them achieve their dreams with Invicta, I’ll consider that a success. Plus, who doesn’t want to be responsible for making great fights? It’s truly a dream job.”

Young joins Julie Kedzie, who is planning to take some time away to pursue her education.
